Tabata points to problem within the development environment.
Final Fantasy Agito+, the PS Vita version of the free-to-play smartphone game, was originally planned for launch in Japan on January 15. But it was delayed in October to an unspecified date. In this week’s issue of Famitsu, Final Fantasy Type-0 HD director Hajime Tabata explains the reason for the delay.
Final Fantasy 15's director Hajima Tabata departed Square Enix in 2018 and will announce his own studio's first JRPG in 2022.
Because Tabata is a decent director in my opinion and hopefully it's a console pc game
While I didn’t really enjoy XV as much as other ff titles tabata did direct crisis core and type 0 and I loved both of them. I’m interested in seeing what he does with full creative control.
A lot of those wrong moves though weren’t entirely his fault. A lot of the blame for FFXV coming out the way it did falls on the higher ups making dumb decisions I.e forcing them to make a engine during the development of the game.
Well, he had to make FFXV from what was left of FFvs13 and that was supposed to be 3 games apparently. There wasn't much he could do.
@pietro1212 every first year dlc should have been part of the game. That includes exploring the dark world during chapter 14. Gameplay was a mess. And you felt like you had 90% of end game abilities at the start of the game. The game needed at least another full year of full development. The engine wasn't his fault sure but ever little thing a fan of the game said he took personally and wanted to add it. It didn't need to have online multi-player.
@pietro1212
Lets be honest, he could have just went with the original vision Tetsuya Nomura had for the game, the plot and assests they had been in development since FF13 Versus was announced.
Instead he came on board and tried to scrap almost everything in the small time frame they had, why would you do this rather than just working out or using what Nomura had left behind.
Just felt he wanted FFXV to be HIS game and not Nomuras when the best course of action for fans was to just finish what was started.
You're right the both of you. Fox, I didn't know about that part. I didn't know it was his decision to start fresh, it was a bad idea.
For someone who did his best with FFXV despite it being in development hell for 6 years before he took over, he deserves to be acknowledged as a good leader, taking over from someone who changed his vision once a year, and then actually putting up a decent game is a achievement, add to that how Final Fantasy type 0 and Crisis core are good games as wel, I am looking forward to what he does next
Final Fantasy XVI director Hiroshi Takai has a chance to revive the most cherished aspect of Final Fantasy in a way Hajime Tabata never could.
The author of this article was mainly talking about Takai being new in the sense of not having a directorial role in the series.
“Hiroshi Takai, who's worked on the series before in a smaller capacity. Takai was the first assistant director for the expansion pack Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward. He's a relatively rookie director, having only directed the 2008 JRPG The Last Remnant prior to this.“
Then the title should not state that he is new to the series. Just that he never was the main director of a FF game.
No he isn't, hes the guy the worked on final fantasy 14 a realm reborn. Hes spoke about taking final fantasy back to its route. He must've been given the opportunity to do so
I'm pretty sure your thinking of yoshi p who was and still the director of FFXIV, but he is helping with 16.
I missed epic melodies from Final Fantasy games, the ones that come to my head are from VII, VIII, IX and X.
Also this one, so effing epic, this only melody makes me want to play this game so badly, fits so perfect to the atmosphere.

I hope this director at least bring one or create a new classic epic melody for XVI, devs are forgetting how important background music is to a game. :(
thats very bad, final fantasy starting to look and play like some korean mmo, thats very bad.
Thank god wewill be getting FF7 part 2
Hajime Tabata posted a message thanking the fans for their support, providing hints on his plans for 2019, and an apology. He also announced that his new studio will officially launch around Feb. 1.
Good they are leaving FFXV behind. Let it rest in piece and everyone can move on...no matter how much they tried they were never going to finish the story and fix the games problems. They'd have been better off creating a brand new game in some sort of alternative timeline where we play as Nyx after the Kingsglaive film, he never dies but Noctis does
Because they decided to focus on content people didn't want and collabs with other games and then remove it after a month. It's been 2 years. They had their time to improve the game.
Plus this is talking about Tabatas new studio not SEs continued support of XV.
Parts of ff15 were phenomenal. Once that time tra el nonsense got introduced though, the game fell flat on its face. Dont get me started on that assassins creed dlc...
final fantasy xv was great only let down by the last few hours of the game. I really enjoyed it.
"We've heard the fans! After much deliberation, we've decided to release Final Fantasy Agito Plus exclusively for the Super Famicom. Thank you for your patience. Merry Christmas."
*cough* ff vii ps4 "remaster" *cough*
Just put it on Vita instead.
I meant "already" instead of "instead" lol.
